Many a times web designers have necessity to find a colour / color code of an element used on a web site. I could be anything like anchor color, color used on borders or may be as simple as background colour. We like it and want to use it for our purpose but it’s really difficult to guess the exact code.

iosart.com had made a Firefox extension named as Colorzilla , which can be used to get hold of the exact color code i.e tell you the RGB / HEX value ( which may be you can use for your project or your own web site ).of any colour which you can touch on a web page.

Before you get to know how it works here is what it allows you to do it.

Color Zilla Features

• Get the exact Hex or RGB code / value of a colour.
• Reveal the class used in CSS or style sheet used for the web page.
• Save the extracted colors to palate box so that it can be reused again.
• Re-sample last location to know which colour you extracted last time.
• Color Picker is integrated. This can be very hand if you want to know a colour code in random also. You need to look into Google search or open up Paint.net or adobe Photoshop like applications.
• Zoom a web site .
• Colorzilla is integrated with right click menu of mouse for quick access.
